Hi People.

I bought a set of speedline alesio 2 alloys for my corsa b, on 195 / 45 / 16 tyres.

Okay what i need help with is What sort of suspension kit to get for my car?

How far to lower the car?

Lowering the car i need to take in to consideration, if 3 people are sitting in the back and also if i had shopping in the boot. lol.

I dont want to be doing any arch or bodying work for the speedlines.

All help will be greatfull.

Cheers.

speedlines on the rear should be fine right down to -90mm iirc

only thing i had trouble with were with my coilovers, the height adjusting disc on the front fouled the wheel/tyre

I'm running the same wheels on my B. Got KYB Gas shocks and PI -60mm lowering springs. The car looks like its sits right with the wheels in the arches. It handles well too.
